Quick Answer

In addition to the harsh conditions, the atmosphere on Jupiter contains very little, if any, oxygen, which is a key component to human survival. The atmosphere is likely hundreds of miles thick, and the planet has no real surface. As the immense pressure acts on the gases toward to the interior of the planet, the atmosphere probably transitions to an environment of liquid hydrogen.
